Echovalve. To their fans, the band is a refreshing anecdote to
over-processed, cookie-cutter rock music. Mainstream in their own right,
they have managed to take a distinctively original approach to a familiar
genre. With searing and melodic riffs, tasty bass lines, pounding beats,
and intensely haunting, hook-laden vocals, Echovalve has honed a sound that
sets them apart.
Through the challenges of the highly competitive, ever-changing world of
the music industry, Echovalve has remained steadfast. What kills most has
given life time and time again to a band that has refused to go away.
Though the band is clean now, members have been plagued with drug and
alcohol addictions and one band member was declared clinically dead
following a drug overdose (he lived to tell the tale). The band has toured
the country with no money, sleeping on park benches as they went from town
to town. One band member was actually homeless and living on the streets
for a while. That which did not break them only made them stronger and has
made the successes that have come their way even sweeter.
Echovalve’s dedication to their craft has earned the band some
well-deserved notoriety:

The band came together in Atlanta, and after several years of playing and
touring, things began to fall into place for Echovalve in 2007. In addition
to signing a deal with label Rock Ridge Music, the band also hooked up with
a management company and a booking agent. With only two EP’s up to this
point, in June Echovalve began recording their first full-length album.
Echovalve’s debut CD, “helloagaingoodbye” will be released worldwide March
2008. Their first single “Dirty Little Secret” will hit the airwaves in
February 2008. Mature beyond their years and dedicated to their art, the
band is hell-bent on making its mark.
